Generalized least squares for the synthesis of correlated information.
This paper deals with the synthesis of information from different studies when there is lack of independence in some of the contrasts to be combined. This problem can arise in several different situations in both case-control studies and clinical trials. For efficient estimation we appeal to the method of generalized least squares to estimate the summary effect and its standard error. This meth...
متن کاملLeast – Squares Method For Estimating Diffusion Coefficient
Abstract: Determination of the diffusion coefficient on the base of solution of a linear inverse problem of the parameter estimation using the Least-square method is presented in this research. For this propose a set of temperature measurements at a single sensor location inside the heat conducting body was considered. The corresponding direct problem was then solved by the application of the ...
متن کاملLEAST – SQUARES METHOD FOR ESTIMATING DIFFUSION COEFFICIENT
Determining the diffusion coefficient based on the solution of the linear inverse problem of the parameter estimation by using the Least-square method is presented. A set of temperature measurements at a single sensor location inside the heat conducting body is required. The corresponding direct problem will be solved by an application of the heat fundamental solution.
متن کاملNumerical methods for generalized least squares problems
Usually generalized least squares problems are solved by transforming them into regular least squares problems which can then be solved by well-known numerical methods. However, this approach is not very effective in some cases and, besides, is very expensive for large scale problems. In 1979, Paige suggested another approach which consists of solving an equivalent equality-constrained least sq...
متن کاملGeneralized least-squares estimators for the thickness of heavy tails
For a probability distribution with power law tails, a log–log transformation makes the tails of the empirical distribution function resemble a straight line, leading to a least-squares estimate of the tail thickness. Taking into account the mean and covariance structure of the extreme order statistics leads to improved tail estimators, and a surprising connection with Hill’s estimator. c © 200...
